SpeedAware - How you can reduce casualtiesa and save money

*SpeedAware*** - TIPS!
How *you* can help reduce road casualties, save money and the environment Always leave plenty of time for your journey. Always drive at a speed within the limit which is appropriate for the road conditions. Never use a mobile phone whilst driving - it's dangerous. Ignore pressure from drivers behind to speed up– let them overtake and get points and a fine – not you! Drive calmly - hard accelerating causes excess noise, air pollution, wastes fuel and ruins your car. Not wearing a seatbelt could turn a ‘damage only’ collision into a gruesome tragedy. Try using 3rd gear in a 30mph limit – it’s more efficient and you have more control. Remember – a bad driver is someone who finds keeping to the speed limits difficult and can't control their vehicle at the required speed – statistics show that speeding means you get into trouble quicker and are far more likely to have a crash.

Hit by a car at 30, you’ll have an 80% chance of surviving. Hit by a car at 40, you’ll have an 80% chance of dying.
